Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure even application by using a roller with a good quality nap. Apply a second coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely.

Paint is not covering the surface adequately.

Ensure proper surface preparation. Apply a second coat. Using a primer before applying the paint may also help.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

This may indicate insufficient surface preparation or poor adhesion. Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and primed before painting. Scrape off loose paint and sand the surface before re-painting.
